    The archaeological area of Tharros is one of the most significant testimonies of the ancient history of Sardinia. Among the necropolises and Nuragic, Phoenician and Punic remains, the tower of San Giovanni also stands out, a Sardinian coastal tower built between the 16th and 17th centuries to protect against the incursions of Barbary pirates and corsairs.

      Tharros (also Tharras, Tarrae or Tarras) is an ancient city on the west coast of Sardinia, of which only remains remain. It is located 20 km west of Oristano in the province of the same name, on the southern tip of the Sinis peninsula, which is only 100 m wide in places. The name Tharros first appeared on a Roman milestone.

      Founded by Nuragics, the place was expanded into a city by the Phoenicians and taken over by the Carthaginians and Romans. Between 827 and 1070 AD it was the capital of the Judicate of Arborea. Ibn Jubar (1145–1217) reported as early as 1183 that he had seen a ruined city when his ship sought shelter from a storm on the Sardinian promontory.
